3M helps MedTech manufacturers design and build more reliable, innovative and feature-rich medical devices.
We provide a range of materials and technologies including stick-to-skin adhesives for wearable sensors used in continuous health monitoring and diagnostic films for microfluidic technologies, such as lab on a chip devices.
We’ll help you find the right materials for your product and get your design to market, no matter what development stage you’re in.
For device prototyping and process development we can also facilitate in-house sterilization for a wide range of devices from stents, catheters, pacemakers, needles, implants, cutting tools and more.

Wearable sensors for continuous health monitoring
3M offers a variety of MedTech components that can be designed into wearable sensors for continuous health monitoring.
From adhesives and electronics to drug delivery, our technologies are helping you change the way patient health is monitored outside of the hospital — while helping you improve manufacturing efficiency and the accuracy of your devices.
-
MedTech device construction
3M's wide range of medical-grade adhesives and films can act as adhesives within the construction of your medical devices.
You can take advantage of 3M's design and technical expertise and network of preferred converters to make sure you're using the best components and design for the application – no matter how complex or specialised.
-
Microfluidics
When it comes to microfluidics – 3M gets it. We’re your trusted source for advanced technologies in the design and manufacture of microfluidic devices.
Typical uses for microfluidics include construction of blood glucose strips, lateral flow assays and other consumables and devices used for clinical, molecular and immunoassay diagnostics.

Prototyping, process development and pilot scale production
3M™ Steri-Vac™ GSX EO Sterilizer is ideal for R&D laboratory applications. The GSX series sterilizer is a 100 % ethylene oxide sterilization system that’s an effective low temperature sterilization method for medical devices.
Its compact size limits the requirement for floorspace while allowing medical device design teams the valuable ability to sterilize their prototypes in-house saving significant time and resources in the medical device design process.
